2. INTRODUCTION



This operator’s manual should be considered as the basic mower’s equipment. If the mower is

handed over to another operator, it should be in working condition and given away along with

operator’s manual and it’s other basic equipment.



Operator’s manual is attached to every machine in order that the operator can familiarize

himself with design, working principles, service and adjustment of the mower. The user of

the mower should be familiar with common safety rules and procedures.



The mower is manufactured according to international safety rules.



Compliance with the warnings in this operator’s manual will ensure safe operation.



Please contact your dealer if you have any queries relating to the operation and service of

the mower.



3. PROPER USE

1. Mower KDT is equipped with "Perfect Cut" cutterbar. Table 1 shows the differences in

mowing height depending on angle at which cutterbars are set and what kind of skids are

applied.

Tab. 1. Mowing height depending on the kind of the cutting bar and its tilt angle

No tilt 3° tilt 5° tilt

Standard mowing height

Optional heights when using high mowing topping

Optional heights when using high mowing double topping

• The rear mounted disc mower is intended to mow green fodder: grass, alfalfa and such on

permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to form loose rows of cut

fodder. The pasture or field being mown should be even, best if prepared by rolling. In

the event of a majority of tall grass the first and second mowing should be done at a height of

60 - 70 mm, while with a majority of short grasses at a height of 50 mm. The last mowing

should be done a little higher - at 70 - 80 mm from the ground.

1. A mower with the crop scarifier/rollers is equipped with the „Perfect Cut” cutting bar.

•

The rear mounted disc mower with crop scarifier/rollers is intended to mow green fodder:

grass, alfalfa and such on permanent grassland (pastures), on crop fields without rocks, and to

form loose rows of cut fodder. As a result of the passing of the layers of the green fodder

through the flails or rollers the grass stems are broken and a layer of wax is removed. This

facilitates and speeds up the drying process of the fodder by approximately 30 to 40%. The use

of rollers is especially recommended when mowing legumes such as alfalfa. Rollers are

particularly recommended for mowing grass legume such as alfalfa. The pasture or field being

mown should be even, best if prepared by rolling. This is especially true of mowers with rollers

as they tolerate rocks with a diameter of a few centimeters. If a larger stone is picked up stop

and remove it as it could cause damage of the discs. With a majority of tall grasses the first and

second mowing should be done at a height of 6 - 7 cm, while with a majority of short grasses at

a height of 5 cm. The last mowing should be done a little higher - at 7 - 8 cm from the ground.

5. OPERATION

5.1. Attaching the mower to the tractor

The mower is connected to the tractor’s 3-point-linkage (Fig. 8). After the mower has been

attached, adjust (on the flat ground) the mower’s position by means of top S and lower W links

(Fig. 8). The cutterbar should lean towards the driving direction. Lower links W should be

connected to 3-point linkage frame pins A. Support chain L holds up mower’s linkage frame.

Connect hydraulic hose to tractor’s hydraulic connector.

After the mower has been attached to tractor, check the balance and steerability of tractor-

mower set. To do it, weigh the set and after that drive on the weigher with only the front axis of

the tractor (the mower must be in transport position – lifted upwards). If the pressure on the front

axis is at least 20 % of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is stable. If not, the front axis

should be balanced.

connected the pin should be in the bush 2 (Fig. 9a) on the middle bar.

5.2. Preparing the mower for transport

To prepare the mower for transport and to meet safety precautions, please do the following:



lift the mower with tractor hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the mower 3-point linkage

frame raise about 0,5 m above the ground (Fig. 11),



lift support leg up and secure it with split cotter,



remove the pin 1 and put it into the bush 2 (Fig. 9a),



lift the cutterbar by hydraulic cylinder vertically until the pawl Z locks in (Fig. 9b),



secure the cutterbar against falling by the shut-off valve (Fig. 10b) placed on the mower’s

hydraulic cylinder.

CAUTION:

During transport the shut-off valve of mower hydraulic lift should always be

closed – the valve lever in Z position (Fig. 10). It protects the mower against

incidental falling in case of hydraulic failure.
